Customizing Ethereal
In the Edit Color dialog box, simply enter a name for the color filter, and enter a filter string in the Filter text field. Figure 9.2, “The "Edit Color Filter" dialog box” shows the values arp and arp which means that the name of the color filter is arp and the filter will select protocols of type arp. Once you have entered these values, you can choose a foreground and background color for packets that match the filter expression. Click on Foreground color... or Background color... to achieve this and Ethereal will pop up the Choose foreground/background color for protocol dialog box as shown in Figure 9.3, “The "Choose color" dialog box”.

Note!
You must select a color in the colorbar next to the colorwheel to load values into the RGB values. Alternatively, you can set the values to select the color you want.
